Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 629: Chapter 256: Who Is Fit to Be Prime Minister? Map of the Jiuzhou Ding? (Part 3)

Upon hearing this.

Li Rou knelt and bowed to Li Si: ”Thank you, Father.”

She naturally understood that this was Li Si giving her a chance to return and report to Fusu.

-----------------

Leaving the Royal Palace.

Zhang Ming drove a six-horse carriage, surrounded by trusted aides for protection.

They left the Royal Palace smoothly without obstruction.

”My lord.”

”I have received news.”

”Although the entire Wang Wan clan was captured and imprisoned by the Tingwei, four sons remain outside Xianyang.”

”In addition to that.”

”These four are protected by the Wang Family dead soldiers.”

”Presumably, upon hearing about Wang Wan’s imprisonment, they will flee to other states.” Zhang Ming respectfully reported.

”Tell Ying Bu.”

”The Wang Family, leave no survivors.”

Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

”Yes.” Zhang Ming immediately accepted the order.

From the moment Wang Wan schemed against him, repeatedly, he had become Zhao Feng’s mortal enemy.

Naturally, Zhao Feng felt no sympathy for him.

Root out the weed, or it grows again in spring.

Zhao Feng understood this principle well.

Leaving behind Wang Wan’s descendants was only inviting trouble for himself later. Although Zhao Feng feared little, the buzzing of flies was a great annoyance, and if it could be resolved, he would resolve it.

Soon enough.

The carriage proceeded without hindrance.

Returning to the residence gates.

In sight.

Chunyu Yue’s figure appeared by the residence gate.

”My lord.”

”That Chunyu Yue waits outside.” Zhang Ming glanced, and immediately reported.

”In the past, before I returned to Xianyang, he spoke boastfully.”

”The Great King has issued a decree.”

”He must come to apologize in person.”

Zhao Feng laughed softly.

Then.

Zhao Feng directly lifted the curtain, and slowly stepped down from the carriage.

As Chunyu Yue saw Zhao Feng’s carriage returning, his old face showed a hint of struggle. For him, visiting in person to apologize was such humiliation?

Yet with the royal decree in place, he had no choice but to comply.

Seeing Zhao Feng step down,

Chunyu Yue, suppressing his humiliation, slowly approached and bowed: ”Greetings, Shangjiangjun.”

”What is it?” Zhao Feng replied coldly.

”In the past, when Shangjiangjun had not yet returned, I criticized you at court. Today, I come specifically to apologize to Shangjiangjun.”

”Please forgive me.”

Speaking these words.

Chunyu Yue remained bent over, in an apologetic posture.

Zhao Feng glanced at him with some sarcasm: ”Chunyu Yue, you should know well what to say and what not to say as an adult.”

”You shouldn’t apologize to me, but to those soldiers who died on foreign lands.”

”The soldiers of Qin fight bravely for life, not to be criticized by a shameless person like you.”

”Your apology is not accepted by me.”

After speaking.

Zhao Feng had no intention of dealing with Chunyu Yue further, waved his hand, and headed directly into the residence.

Watching Zhao Feng’s retreating back,

Chunyu Yue stood upright, his face revealing greater humiliation.

Regarding his intent,

how could Zhao Feng not know?

It was nothing more than being compelled by the royal decree.

His apology was his matter, forgiveness was Zhao Feng’s matter, more so the matter of those soldiers who died on the battlefield.

”Father’s back.”

Just upon Zhao Feng’s return.

Zhao Qi’s voice rang out.

”Father, carry me.”

”Take us horseback riding.”

Zhao Ling also ran up in small steps and leaped onto Zhao Feng.

”Father just got back; let him rest for a few days,” Zhao Feng said gently.

His own pair of children, naturally, he cherished greatly.

”Qi’er, Ling’er.”

”Your father just returned, let him rest,” Wang Yan came over with a stern face.

Seeing Wang Yan,

the two little ones fearfully stepped back.

”I’ll go rest in the room for a while, prepare dinner at the residence today, Han Fei is returning for a banquet,” Zhao Feng gently said to Wang Yan.

”Yes, husband,” Wang Yan nodded.

Having instructed,

Zhao Feng walked towards his chamber.

Returned yesterday,

Received honors today,

then spent most of the day in conversation with the King of Qin, leaving Zhao Feng with no personal time.

This time, he was awarded the title of Lord Wu’an, additionally two ranks.

Two Second Tier Treasure Boxes, one Third Tier Treasure Box.

Zhao Feng was naturally eager to open them.

Upon returning to his sleeping quarters,

Zhao Feng sat down against the bed and immediately issued an instruction: ”Open all treasure boxes.”

”Open the Second Tier Treasure Box.”

”Obtained a spiritual object: [Void Mysterious Stone] in five thousand pieces.”

”Obtained a low-grade Heaven Rank [Heavenly Inquiry Sword].”

”Open the Third Tier Treasure Box.”

”Obtained the [Map of the Jiuzhou Ding].” A notification appeared on the panel.

Seeing the notification before him,

Zhao Feng immediately focused his attention on the map.

”Map of the Jiuzhou Ding?”

”What is this thing?”

”Aren’t the Nine Tripod Cauldrons in the Qin Royal Palace?”

”What use is this map?”

Zhao Feng wondered in great confusion.

Long ago, when King Zhaoxiang of Qin destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, the Nine Cauldrons were transported to the Great Qin Royal Ancestral Temple.

Though one cauldron was lost during the transportation process, eight cauldrons reside in the Qin Royal Palace.

Although he had not seen them, he had heard of them.

Now with this map, does it describe these eight cauldrons in the Qin Royal Palace?

With doubts.

Zhao Feng extracted the map.

Immediately.

An antiquated map appeared, distinct from parchment, being a concoction of some inexplicable magical treasure, and as Zhao Feng summoned it, the map directly manifested before his eyes.

The situation depicted on the map was immediately visible to Zhao Feng.

”Here, it seems to be Baiyue.”

”Not the Qin Royal Palace.”

Zhao Feng stared at the map for a moment, murmuring to himself.

He initially believed the map recorded the Qin Royal Palace, but it seems he was mistaken.

With the map’s emergence, marked as the Map of the Jiuzhou Ding.

It posed a question!
